The sketch shows a seated man from the waist up. He is relaxed, with his arms crossed over his lap. The man has a prominent forehead, deep-set eyes, and a pointed goatee. His hair is slicked back, suggesting a receding hairline. He is dressed in a suit. The background is plain, drawing attention to the man as the main subject.
